"Ball-point pens are not for writing! They're for making marks!" Mr. Willis on The Jeffersons.

I agree with that statement...the problem is, being left-handed, I can really only use ball-point pens. Fountain pens don't work well when pushed across paper...now, if I could learn to write backwards from the bottom of the page up, like Da Vinci, I'd be set! I'll stop babbling now.
